One former LSU player is in serious condition and another arrested and charged with attempted second-degree murder following a Friday night shooting.

Former LSU player Brandon Winey, a sixth-round pick in the 2001 NFL draft, has been arrested and charged.

Tahj Jones, a former LSU linebacker who participated in LSU's pro day on Wednesday, was in serious condition after surgery Saturday. He remained in serious condition after a second surgery on Sunday. He was shot in the abdomen.

"Tahj is doing much better," childhood friend Shane Hanchey told Gannett Louisiana by phone Sunday night. "It was bad Saturday. He's really fortunate. He made a big progression in this surgery from what the doctors told me today. They removed the bullet. An artery that was damaged is back in place. They're not going to have to put a plate in his hip, where the bullet ended up. He is all sewed up, and he is not expected to have any more surgeries."

Winey was arrested and booked, according to a statement issued by Sulphur (La.) police, per The Advocate.

"We are aware of (the shooting) and obviously we're praying hard for him and hoping he pulls through," LSU football spokesman Michael Bonnette told NOLA.com.

According to the Advocate, Jones was in a hospital's surgical intensive care unit, a hospital spokesperson said.

Jones had arrived unannounced at the apartment to visit a female friend, the release says. Winey arrived later, and the two men got into an altercation. Winey produced a handgun and shot Jones, the release said.

Winey was arrested without incident at his residence in Lake Charles.

Jones started three games and played in eight for LSU in 2013.

Winey played at LSU from 1997 to 2000 and was drafted in the sixth round in 2001 by the NFL's Miami Dolphins, spending that season with the Denver Broncos. Winey played in 2003 for the Washington Redskins and 2004 for the New York Giants.
